Life abroad in Spain can look like many different things. Whether you live on the coast or in the city, Spain has a relaxed lifestyle that permeates across the country — and it’s also my favorite thing about living here.
But when you begin planning your move abroad, it can be easy to romanticize what life abroad is really like. Although it isn’t all sleeping in and eating tapas in the sun, it’s good to have a realistic glimpse into what day to day life is really like.
Everyday Abroad is a space to share personal, realistic experiences about life abroad in Spain. From simple things like how grocery prices in Spain compare to the U.S. to how to spend the holidays or even what Spanish skincare brands to try, I explore all facets of life in Spain as an immigrant.
